The current year is an important one in
the history Ct Fort Worth and it has
demonstrated the stability Of property
values and securities of all kinds. The
long continued drouth hung like cloud
over the destiny CT the great west and
northwest, paralyzing the industries and
energies of a great section which served
as g feeder for the city, but the confidence
OF its people
NEVER BATTERED,
Envious, Would-be rivals for the trade
of that vast domain said the city was at q
standstill and had reached its growth,
but il is remarkable fact that the great
est boom ever felt here in real estate
came when the dry season was at its
worst period, and hundreds of thousands
of dollars were invested in su0ur ban
property, and all the principal railway
corporations operating in the great south
west were directing their roads toWsrds
the common railroad center, and new
lines were being surveyed into accessible
territory leading from it, New additions
to The city were made and much prepare
ton WAS and is now being made for the
extension Of the city limits. On the north,
east, south and west, close up to the cor
por6tiOn boundaries much money is
being spent in laying of and surveying
THESE NEW ADDITIONS
into town lots This is in the face of the
fact that almost all OF West Texas has
suffered from the long continued drouth.
Fort Worth never shared in the general
apprehension about the ultimate develop
ment of this section that was felt in some
parts of the state, and when only week
or so ago the drouth Was broken by copi
Gus rains 1t kept on in its course as
though nothing had happened to disturb
is progress. Good crops are now as
sured for the year in that section from
which the city draws its support and it
may safely be prophesied inst at the close
of 1887 old father Time will look upon the
most prosperous year in the history Of
the commercial mart for most Of Western
and Northern Texas.
Glance at the accompanying map and
view the topography of Fort Worth. That
broad stretch of open land near its center
and stretching east and west through its
limits, was donated to the Texas and Pa
CifC Railway In 1876 as part Of the in
ducement for the road to come to the
city. Then it was worth several thousand
dollars. Now its value will run close to
$1,000, 900. What q superb gift it has
proven to be, and where is there such
facilities for harding a great volume Of
trade, and such
FINE TERMINAL FACILITIES
for nest of railroads ? No where in
Texas. Look at the populous half of the
city south of this reservation and
then picture it an open plain in 1888
four years ago. See the new additions
that have been added in the last year or
so. Consider the fact that the last
United States census report in 1880 gave
an accredited population of 5000, and

IN lCCt AND 1000
the work of internal Improvement
continued, and the citizens COM
menced to adorn and beautify their
homes. Many fine residences appeared
on the commanding sites and hills IN and
around the city. The private side streets
were graded aud the visible effects Of
prosperity appeared in private life.
IN 1856
the Fort Worth and New Orleans
Railway was built to WaXahachie,
stretching through the southeastern part
of Tarrant county and giving Mansfield, q
thriving village, railway connection with
the county seat Of the county. This road
was built by citizens of Fort Worth, aid
ed by subsidy of $4,000 donated by
their fellow citizens. In 1887 the AtChi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Com
pany has completed the extension Of the
Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway to
Atchison, Kan, and the road is already
operating north from Fort Worth. The
Fort Worth and Rio Graude Railway will
soon stretch its steel rails from Fort
Worth to Brentwood away to the south
west, and many miles Of track have el-
ready been laid on this road which in a
few days will send its first train to Gran
bury in the center of Hood county, max
ing the tenth outlet by rail.
This brief description shows how
steady has been the growth of the city as
a railroad center, and values have kept
pace with the railways.
The following is table Of the values
in different years sufficient in themselves

came paralyZed and an exodus set in
which threatened to depopulate the town.
This was caused by the Texas and Pacific
Railroad being pushed on west as far as
Weatherford. Many business men and
SPECTATORS followed or preceded it, and
Fort Worth was NO longer the promising
place it mad lately been. But few men
gave evidence of the faith that was in
them and remained to work for the
growth of the place. In 8 short time
those who had left began to return, and
in year or so confidence was restored
and again the tide was in the right direc-
ton with full and rapid flow.
1880.
In this year the Missouri Pacific Rail-
way reached the city from the northern
limits of the state, and shortly afterwards
continued its way southwark. This made
Fort Worth the junction OF the two
greatest arties of commerce in the state,
which now stretch 20 the limits Of the
north, east, south and west boundaries of
Texas. These roads were secured by
large and generous subsidies given by
the enterprising citizens, of which more
will be said in another column.
1881.
Inc Jult, C0IOIdOO anu Oalld re duu
the Fort Worth and Denver City Rail-
ways were the great events
Of the year 1881. The
population was then about 1000 and rap
IDLY increasing, and these two railroads
operated and built as they were by men
interested largely in Texas securities other
than railroads, acted as a wonderful
stimulus 10 that section OF the state
touched by and tributary to them. Fort
Worth, being the terminus of both roads.
YVES benefited more than any other point.
These roads cost the citi-
zens a subsidy approXimating
100000, and they were rich
and profitable investment. In 1882 the
charter for the waterwoTks was obtained
and early in 1883 the Holly system was
put in practical operation; 1889 was the
year in which the City Council, headed
by Mayor j. 2. Smith-the veteran
pioneer patron of Fort Worth institu-
uons-turned it's attention to internal i'm
provements. Main and Houston streets
were paved with g Telford McAdam pave
ment st cost of over $1,000 This
was probably the most prosperous year
in the city's history and the population
nearly doubled in it ana the succeeding
spring of 1884. The South Side, which
before was Sparsely settled, grew as if by
magic, and in a few months developed
into thickly populated section.
The following is fair statement of the
work and cost of internal Improvements
in 1859.

be found in the missing head.

MRS. LUCY r. BARBER,
Tho Woman of Alfred, y. ", Who Dared
to Present Her Vote.

The little village OF Alfred, Allegheny
county, y. Y, was thrown into state or
considerable excitement on Nov. by the
action of Mrs. Lucy F. Barber, who oprcsented
herself at the polls, and demanded, when her
vote was challenged. that she be allowed &c
swear it in This the inspectors of election,
Isaac NJ Iangworthy Albert w. Lang
worthy and Frank B. Goodwin, after n long
consultation, concluded to do, and Mrs. Barber
had the satisfaction of knowing that at least
one woman in the Empire state had exercised
the same rights of franchise as are accorded
to men, Mrs Barber was afterward arrested.
The matter is Of particular interest, since,
upon the outcome of this case, 10 great ex-
tent, depends the progress Of the woman suf-
trage movement in New York state.
Mrs BARRIERS face, as shown in the picture
here presented, is that of bright, sensible
and withal a determined woman. Her hair
is short.
Mrs Barber was born in Alfred, and her
maiden name was Sweet. Her husband Is
farmer. She was married 10 him quite
young, and is the mother of eleven children,
six of whom are living. -Four died in in
fancy. and one was crushed to death while

was baptized by Rev. n V. Hull into the

Work of the Flames.

LAWRENCE, KY, January 2S.-Yester-
day morning the Bowersock Opera House
block, in WamegO, the finest in the city,
took fire, as supposed from gas jet:
The fire department got it under control
only when the block was practically
ruined. In it were the postoflice, opera
house, Trt5une office, Union Pacific office,
law offices and halls, and three college
fraternities. The postoffice and the Irt-
tune only saved their stock. The loss is
estimated at from $75, 600 to 100000.

BUSINESS PARALYzED.
Hopeful of stopping All Transatlantic
Traffic,


New YORK, January 2S.-Business on
the river front this morning is almost
completely paralyzed, and with the ex-
ception of a small amount of freight being
moved by green hands on one or two
piers, very little work has been done on
the docks of the principal steamship com
panies since the strike of the 'lOngshOre-
men commenced The strikers are conf
dent that they will succeed, and their
next move will be to get the pilots on the
ocean steamer service to come out. The
pilots are organized, ald should the order
90 out for them to quit work, the strikers
hope 10 stop all trans Atlantic steamers
from sailing in or out of port.
At the National Line dock this morn
ing sixty men who were picked up from
various sources were laid off, as they
were incompetent to do the work. The
Wyoming was being unloaded by non
union men and the sailors of the vessel.
The Erin is not more than half loaded.
She should have sailed yesterday. The
Helvetia, of the same line, lies at the
other side of the dock, with the bulk of
her cargo still aboard. Affairs were just
about the same at the GuiOn Line dock.
The Nacoochee, of the Savannah line,
sailed on time yesterday, but it was owing
to the assistance rendered by the union
men, who, after they first turned out,
came back voluntarily and completed the
loading of her. They, however, refused
to accept any pay for their services. The
company has always paid the union rates,
and the best of feeling exists among the
men and the company, but the men turned
out from loyalty to their union. The Old
Dominion Company's dock-master says
they can get all the men they want. They
have about 200 non-union men at work.

REVIEW.

New YORK, January 2S.-Early foreign
quotations came lower, but just before our
market opened cables advising an improved
tone were received and prices here quickly
responded. The latest reports of trade abroad
are very encouraging. The iron and steel in
dustry, so long depressed, is feeling the in
fuence of the revival, and these interests, to-
gether with the coal trade, are considered the
barometers of commercial life; and they are
even more they have dual character az,
unlike the barometer, they themselves con-
tribute to the changes they indicate. Past
experience has always tended to show that
any revival abroad reflects sooner or later on
our industries here Prices ruled dull until
the last hour, when, under a pressure of
shorts covering, they quickly rallied, show
ing that the floating supply of stock is com
small one. Should the bank re.
turn tomorrow be favorable one, which is
probable we expect to see a better market.
The close was strong. Money, 3 per cent.
